Finding Library Professional Service Notifications (Policies, Rules) in Pakistan

You’re looking for official policies, rules, and guidelines for library services, not job ads. These “notifications” guide professional practice.

Where to Look (Key Sources):

1. Higher Education Commission (HEC): For university and academic library standards, digital resources, and librarian development.
2. Ministry of Federal Education & Professional Training (MoFEPT): For national education-related library policies.
3. Provincial Education Departments: For rules concerning public libraries, schools, and colleges within each province.
4. Department of Libraries (Federal): For policies on national and federal public libraries.
5. Public Service Commissions (FPSC, PPSC, etc.): For government librarian service rules, promotions.
6. Individual University/Institution Websites: For their specific library policies (e.g., borrowing rules, internal staff policies).

What to Look For: Check their “Notifications,” “Circulars,” “Policies,” or “Rules & Regulations” sections, usually in PDF format. Focus on the date, issuing authority, and the policy’s scope.

Example Topic: A notification might be about a “New Digital Preservation Policy for Public Libraries” or “Revised Service Rules for University Librarians.”
